  • Easy to use, does what I need (crazy hard to find something as simple as an effective screen recorder!) I love the zoom feature; it's the reason I need a screen recorder; my EOS70D doesn't allow movie recording (or picture taking for that matter) in crop or zoom mode. Couple of suggestions: 1) perhaps provide simple documentation for basic usage? Took me a little while and pushing buttons to realize I needed to first set the focus properly (for the zoom function), close the EOS Utilities app, set the output filename, and use the 5x zoom before "Write!" would work. 2) Also, having a couple more values for zoom would be cool. Can't wait for the weather to clear so I can see what Jupiter looks like using this!
  • Parabéns pelo programa, ele é ótimamente ótimo kkkkkk. Depois de quase 1 ano com a minha câmera EOS 1000D eu queria dar um jeito de gravar vídeos com ela, mas isso não era nada possível pelo simples motivo que ela não GRAVA VÍDEOS!!!! Apenas fotografa, por fim pesquisei por alguns programas e esse foi o único que fez a proeza de gravar pela câmera, e a qualidade não cai nem um pouco,
  • This is the real thing for Canon & movie lovers :)
  • Allowed me to use an old Canon 1000D as webcam along with OBS. Extremely happy. Much more fluid and better quality than using EOS as video source for OBS. Was unable to record video but as I'm only wanting to leverage the camera to stream and cam there is no impact. Very very grateful this project exists. Спасиюбо! Also the scoring doesn't seem to work in the review so my scores as follows: Ease: 5/5 Features: 4/5 Design: 4/5 Support: N/A **Live view still times out after 30 minutes. If this can be circumvented this will bury sparkocam as a lightweight utility to access DSLR for long form use **
  • Worked beautifully in a Canon 7D !!!!!! Many Thanks !
  • great stuff, many thanks! A recent Mac build would be most appreciated!
  • Hi, I found it easy to install and start using. Tested it with my new Canon 700D and it worked out of the box. What I would like to see is a border less window mode without showing all the menu stuff. That would enable great screencast recording options.

  • Love the simplicity of it
  • A fine program, but would be much more useful if it was ported to run on an android Tablet. Presently (July 2015) the only android app that can record EOS liveview, DSLRDashboard, is far too sluggish to be of any use.

  • The best app to record videos with a reflex camera. Love it.
  • works great for my Rebel XSi but could use support for my 6D
  • Good and useful software
  • very useful program, thanks!
  • Good job, thanks!
  • Thanks for the software hopefully when the beta is over the software will be free, I will take videos of Moon and Planets.
  • Perfect project, thank you for showing
  • Beneficial project, thank you so much for sharing
  • Excellent if you want to have some depth of field action without buying a pricy video camera. Only complaint is framerate but there is no way to fix that because it's over USB. I put a test recording with depth of field up on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3iuJ3-grUU&context=C3db794aADOEgsToPDskKa9dHQfWUnIDYCLcDj_UKv
  • An excellent, very useful bit of software... Using a 550d, and it works well, apart from aperture control apparently not working for this camera (using "M" mode, and tried "DOF" on and off). Nice work! I'm excited about trying it out for some astrophotography!
  • Does it need the canon DSLR SDK to be preinstalled before using this program?
  • This software makes it possible to record movies with my Canon EOS 1000D camera.
  • Allows you to record some beautiful video with your old DSLR. No sound yet, but you can record sound by using a sound recording app in parallel and adding the audio track in post processing.
  • I compiled it for Fedora 16 successfully. Unfortunately it includes some debugging stuff in the source that is making it work 20% slower than in windows. (precompiled version). it writes a debugging text with every avi. I am trying to shut that down. With my laptop I am getting 19 fps in Fedora and 24 fps. With my desktop and windows I am getting 30 fps. All with the same camera a 500D John
